* Package name : libsmacker Version : 1.2.0 Upstream Contact: Greg Kennedy <kennedy.g...@gmail.com> * URL : https://libsmacker.sourceforge.net/ * License : LGPL-2.1 Programming Lang: C Description : C library for decoding .smk Smacker Video files libsmacker is a cross-platform C library which can be used for decoding Smacker Video files produced by RAD Game Tools. The library supports all features of both v2 and v4 files, except that Bink Audio Compression (lossy perceptual coding) is unsupported. For most use cases of libsmacker, this is not a serious limitation. Smacker Video was the king of video middleware in the 1990s, and its 256-color compressed video format was used in over 2600 software titles. Smacker files tend to pose a problem for "engine rewrite" projects for legacy games: many used the .smk format for intro videos, cutscenes, and animated textures. What is needed is a library which supports the minimum feature set from smackw32.dll to get an smk off a disk and the frames / audio into a buffer in the correct order. Hence, libsmacker.
